Hiking
Nestled in the Golden Valley, Ewyas Harold is a beautiful village with a rich history. The remains of an ancient motte-and-bailey castle remain in the west of the village, though only the motte remains to hint at its former glory.
To the north is Ewyas Harold Common, boasting roaming ponies and splendid views towards Wales' Black Mountains. Hillwalking in the surrounding countryside includes routes to Garway Hill and Mynydd Ferddin.

Hiking
St Michael's and All Angels Church is situated in the centre of the attractive village of Ewyas Harold. It is a stunning Norman-influenced, but mainly English Gothic, church. It dates from the 13th century, and apparently the walls of the tower are seven foot thick, hinting at it being the primary building at one point and used for protection purposes. The tower houses six bells, which are rung weekly.
